Paul Kelly
The Honey Bee
[Verse 1]
You come like a bee to the honey
The honey tastes so sweet
You come and go, ever so lightly
With the breeze

[Verse 2]
I'm like a rock in the water
You wash over me
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
Drowning, I can't breathe

[Chorus]
Mâlô e lelei, 'alu a
Mâlô e lelei, 'alu a
Taha, ua, tolu, fâ
Keep away, stay where you are
Mâlô e lelei, 'alu a
Mâlô e lelei, 'alu a
Taha, ua, tolu, fâ
Keep away, I know who you are

[Interlude]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
[Verse 3]
Forever chasing the brightness
It turns to a blur
Just like a moth to the candle
You're gonna crash down and burn

[Verse 4]
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
I'm in so deep, I can't breathe
I'm like a rock in the water
When I let you wash over me

[Chorus]
Mâlô e lelei, 'alu a
Mâlô e lelei, 'alu a
Taha, ua, tolu, fâ
Keep away, stay where you are
Mâlô e lelei, 'alu a
Mâlô e lelei, 'alu a
Taha, ua, tolu, fâ
Keep away, stay where you are

[Outro]
Keep away
Stay where you are
Away
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Stay away
Stay away
Oh
